We use VRBO and other similar services frequently and I don’t like to be negative in my reviews because life is crazy, but Alex needs to fire his cleaning crew. Everything that was dirty (it was a lot) was something that could easily be cleaned. I don’t mean things that are worn from age or peeling paint. The carpet had not been vacuumed. The sink was sticky, the pots and pans were dirty, the front of the dishwasher, microwave and tv in back bedroom were filthy. There was a sticky wax trail down the side of the fridge and the top was nasty with wax and a dirty pot holder on it. The utensil drawer had dirt in it and the measuring cups were dirty in the drawer. There were grimy marks on door facings and walls. The handle in the hall bath sink was not screwed on. The fire alarm in the hall kept beeping. We bought a battery and replaced it. One day later the living room fire alarm started beeping. We left a new battery in the dirty drawer. This place could be awesome with a little TLC inside and out. The beds and bathrooms were clean and we were tired and too busy working El Paso Comic Con to look for another place. You can tell that Alex wants this to be a nice place with new light fixtures, updated bathrooms and new countertops. I hope he finds a cleaning crew that will do their job. If so we would stay here next year for the convention.
